The X-Uniforms are the uniforms worn by the X-Men in combat situations.


X-Men: First Class


The uniforms in X-Men: First Class are closer to the original yellow and blue/black comic book uniforms. They are flight suits designed by Beast to withstand extreme g-forces. Beast, Xavier, Raven, and Erik all had similar costumes. However, Havok and Banshee's were designed specifically to work in tandem with their powers.

  • Havok's costume had a chest piece that allowed him to channel and direct his powers.
  • Banshee's uniform had wings that he could use with his powers to fly.
  • Beast's sleeves and shorts are cut off at a certain point, allowing him more maneuverability in battle.
  • Moira MacTaggert's uniform was different due to her lacking abilities. It was all grey.


  • The uniforms seen in X-MenX2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand are black leather suits. The uniforms were designed to act as protective body suits for when the X-Men go into dangerous situations.

  • Storm had a cape to aid her flying abilities. Storm also had a secondary uniform, it wasn't black leather like the others. It was a dark blue, with black shoulder pads and yellow trim.

  • Colossus's uniform lacked sleeves, giving him more mobility.
  • Beast wore a more different costume, consisting of a black jacket that cuts off at his shoulders, although still black leather, there were yellow stripes across the shoulders and a large, yellow 'X' symbol on his right breast. He also wears black leather pants.

Dark Phoenix X-Men

In the 90's of the altered timeline, the X-Men all wear matching uniforms similar to the ones they first wore during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it is unknown what happened to the suits seen at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse. They are dark blue with bright yellow X's on the chest and back, they are not made of leather but some sort of armored fabric. Beast's is the only suit with a slight variation as his suit is missing the boots due to his prehensile feet. The suits draw heavy inspiration from the comic "New X-Men" by Frank Quitely, however the costumes in that comic were black instead of dark blue.
